Daifuku Ramen

This food was so flavorful and tasty! I ordered the spicy garlic ramen level 1 and that was the perfect amount of heat. I also ordered the pork gyoza and it was delicious! The pork belly that was in the ramen was so tender and juicy. I could just eat an entire order alone. The restaurant wasn't crowded. We waited about 5 minutes for a table and the service was quick. Everyone was friendly. Will definitely return! Overall ratings:Spicy garlic ramen 5/5Pork Gyoza 5/5

Something casual, simple and brothy on a chilly day. There can be a wait, but they seat you pretty quickly.We ordered their two popular ramen - Daifuku Spicy Garlic level II in spiciness AND Hakata Tonkotsu. The flavors weren't complex, meaning you can tell not much thought or creativity were put into the various ingredients in the ramen. The "sweet corn" was definitely not sweet; the soft boiled egg was mostly made ahead of time, and the noodles can be cooked longer (I always asked to cook longer).The broth was on the salty side and not as complex in flavors as those I've tasted in other ramen places - had to add more sesame oil, and could use some more scallions. The bowl/portions are larger here.Their Parmesan truffle fries and black truffle sauce is tastier than most fries in any ordinary hamburger place. So I guess there's that. Service was good, polite and attentive. Clean plates and utensils.Good place for a simple meal.

Ramen was terrific. It's not often a ramen joint has karaage + curry ramen but I was all for it. I thoroughly enjoyed the dish, as did the rest of my party that also got it. Draft Sapporo Premium was tasty and fresh. The wait was sort of bad, as the restaurant isn't very big and therefore doesn't have many seats. We visited during somewhat off-hours for a meal and still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes. I can't even imagine the wait during mealtimes. Would visit again, though!

There's usually a line out the door but we got lucky with getting a table right away. We all got the traditional tonkotsu but different levels of spice. I got level 3 and it was perfect for me. I love spicy food but think 3 would've been super spicy. Broth was so creamy and so flavorful and portions were generous

What can I say? It's delicious. The place was busy. Literally it was constant but the service was great despite the lack of employees. The kitchen was closing in 5 minutes and she still let a couple come in. I got the medium heat on my bowl and oh my gosh it was delicious . There was a good amount of space and seating inside of the restaurant. The portion was great and so were the prices. I could eat this everyday. Make sure you check them out if you are or aren't in the area. YUM you don't be disappointed

One of the best ramen in Chicago! I came here twice in one week. I almost went back this week because my friend asked me for a ramen recommendation! When you first walk in, they will either ask you to wait or direct you to your seat. It depends on how busy they are. Then, you are brought lemon water. Very refreshing! I ordered the classic tonkatsu ramen and the curry karate ramen. Keep in mind that your food is made from order. So be prepared to wait! Once your ramen arrives, you will leave your bowl empty or you'll take it home because you're so full! The interior is nice and clean. The all wooden theme makes you feel like you're not in Chinatown. I recommend the ramen and the appetizers!

Solid ramen spot that can get pretty busy. We all got the spicy garlic ramen at varying spice levels. Level 1 is already a medium, and it was spicy enough for me that I couldn't finish drinking my brother. Portions are generous and the pork belly is cooked so well. It's absolutely tender and full of flavor. Yum.

We wanted to grab lunch in Chinatown and my husband wanted ramen. I wasn't in the mood for ramen but glad the menu had some other selections. We got the creamy croquettes for an appetizer and they were very good with crab. The sauce that is drizzled on is slightly sweet and has a nice flavor. The ramen was good according to my spouse and the pork belly don I ordered was also very good. My only critique was that the vegetables were cold in my pork belly dish. Didn't love that. The servers were great and refilled our water frequently which I loved. It's a very modern looking restaurant with light music in the background. Two dishes and an appetizer was under $45 and that included tip. Nice and quick lunch spot.

It is great to have a spicy ramen in a cold rainy evening. Stopped by here for dinner after a long day at McCormick Place for conference. I ordered Agedashi Garlic Tofu and Daifuku Spicy Garlic Ramen ( level 2 spiciness). The tofu was hot and tender inside with the seaweed in great combination. The ramen was great with good noodle texture except not enough meat (only one slice of chashu pork.

Ordered in the spicy garlic ramen and I am usually disappointed in ordered in ramen but this was fantastic. Can't wait to try it in-house. Level 2 was def really spicy- but I liked it. I could try level 1 with the chili oil next time. Got extra egg but not needed because it had one while one. Extra pork was a good call. Just wish they had the fried garlic or fried onions.
